O.K., I know this isn't rocket science, but here's an easy lunch for you for the snowy weather. I bought the grocery's cheap brand of tomato soup, along with the same brand of petite diced tomatoes. I mixed together, along with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper and prepared this soup as directed. This soup was so much better than when I just make Campbell's tomato soup, who knew?

Clean out closets, organize desks, start working out, eat healthier, start routines maybe like going to church regularly, reading more or writing in a journal. Well...I'm trying to do all of that (if the blog counts for journal writing now). Let's see how long it lasts. I won't bore you with all of it, but I do want to share some of my latest healthy food discoveries. I had photos...so I thought...for this, but had forgotten that I took my memory card out of my camera for downloads; and lost the cord to hook up my camera to computer...so I only have one photo for you...that of this great dressing. Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Fat Free Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing It wasn't very experience ($2.19) and for that plus the FAT FREE in all caps, I didn't have high hopes that this would taste good. It only has 5 c
